Big 4's

Well our family has had a few big 4's this year. Firstly, Sierra turned 4. Her actual birthdate was relatively uneventful but we plan to have a big party on one of the few free Saturdays coming up. Secondly, I turned 40--aaaarrrrrrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!! I really don't know what that means, but I have been feeling a bit older these days. Thirdly, the girls have had 4 nasty gashes between the 2 of them. Both got a dog bite each, which required medical attention and both hit something sharp enough to cut open their foreheads, which required medical attention. And fourthly, (boy wouldn't it be great if there was a fourth thing).

Anyway, Here are a few recent pics of the Fabulous 4. Happy to be associated with them.

McKinley is still experiencing the terrible 2's and now that she is 2, it is reaching it's climax (and we hope it will tapper off soon).

Sierra recently mastered the art of hiding. Her and Chaz were playing Hide'n'Seek while the typical active afternoon routine was going on at the house. She hid so well that Chaz eventually got distracted and forgot all about her. She hid in such a comfy spot that she fell asleep. As the afternoon wore on, Tia noticed that Sierra wasn't around. A mild search began, followed shortly by a frantic search, followed by a panic, followed by a phone call to the police. Three police officers showed up shortly after I did and searched the house as well. After Tia's many searches, my searches, and the 3 police officers searches it began to seem like horrible things were possible. We quickly said a very fervent prayer and began making some phone calls. Grandma Jo-Jo was finally contacted and said she remembered seeing Chaz and Sierra playing by the couch. Tia ordered Evyt to quickly strip the couch, and viola!, there she was, sound asleep under several cushions. WHEW!!!

Not a very recent pic. Chaz has been making some head way in school (thank goodness) and will probably really excell when they start offering engineering courses to him and/or sports.

Evyt is heartily whipping the pants off everyone in Math, seems he has a way with numbers. Only obstacle in Evyt's life is his love of day-dreaming. I would love to help him channel all that creativity, it could financially benefit me (boy is that selfish). He really is a great kid.

Happy July 2007

Unbelieveable that we are nearly half way through another year. Have some recent pics of the kids I wanted to throw on. To catch anyone up, I'm still working in Real Estate and Terreah is still working for Snow Clan, Inc. (Child Development, Social Studies, Team Management, Janitorial, Housekeeping, Public Relations, Human Relations, Safety Enforcement, Cafeteria, Transportation Coordinator, and Child Protective Services).

Evyt is really enjoying being done with school and lazying around for the summer. He will be going into 2nd grade in August. He was honor roll, straight-A, and had no absences. He's a chip right off Terreah's block.

Chaz is really enjoying having Evyt around soo much. He can focus on destroying alot more with Evyt's help. Chaz liked pre-school and is curious about going into Kindergarten in August. He is head-strong (luckily) yet tender-hearted.

Sierra loves to scream, chase Evyt and Chaz, scream, chase Evyt and Chaz, scream because Chaz looked at her, scream and sing. She has an amazing capacity to remember, recite, recall, and scream. She is a cute little girl whom is a bright star that can scream. We'll probably put her in Pre-School next year.

McKinley is lucky to be such a cute little bubbie. She is clingy, fussy, whiney, moany, sometimes stinky, but very cute. She loves her Mum and tolerates her Dad.

Anyway, I thank the Lord for blessing us with healthy kids and I look forward to more good times with these little people.
